I have seen this mostly on teams which refuse to formalize preferences into a style guide. I have fixed this by forcing the issue and we get together as a team, set a standard and document it. If we can use tools to enforce it automaticall

Hard agree here. I think the best predictor of whether someone will be good, eventually, at something is “do they love it”. If they do then chances are they will spend lots of focused time practicing and actively seeking out ways to get b

I use an M4 air with maxed out RAM for software development and it has no issues. I think you might have a bad one. See if support will do anything for you this is not normal.

What I am excited about is the possibility of LLMs to draw conclusions from the last 150years of scientific papers. There have been lots of instances of knowledge being rediscovered even when it was previously published but sitting on some

Returning an empty result in that case may cause a more subtle failure. I would think returning an error would be a bit better as it would clearly communicate that the caller called the API endpoint incorrectly. If it’s HTTP a 400 Bad Req

If you look at what $50 a month gets you at OVH or Hetzner then their post makes more sense. It isn’t an apples to apples comparison. But, you trade some additional operational overhead for a whole lot more hardware.

Probably, which is unfortunate. I have personally seen a VP be shocked that morale tanked after a large layoff. I think he said “you would think they would be happy they still have jobs”. Lots of sociopaths in the C-Suite.

It is getting to the point where lots of countries will stop caring how the US feels about things. Between threatening, and some actual military intervention, with Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Denmark, Mexico, and itself the US is sp

It’s just the beginning is my guess. If BYD or CATL commits to a factory /assembly in Canada I would expect limits to be raised on this as progress is made. Or if this goes well we could see limits raised as China drops Canadian prod

It isn’t free but 1Blocker works well across iOS and macOS devices for ad blocking. I am not affiliated with them; just have had it for the last 3 years.

Yes but specifically with a rebase merge the commits aren’t interleaved with the commits brought in from mainline like they are with a merge commit. EDIT: I may have read more into GPs post but on teams that I have been on that used merge

They kind of spoke to it. Rebasing to bring in changes from main to a feature branch which is a bit longer running keeps all your changes together. All the commits for your feature get popped on top the commits you brought in from main. W

I think it is more the point that the users for his job were external developers. The role is inherently user facing and user focused. I don’t think anyone was trying to say he wasn’t a developer just that his job wasn’t to directly develo

Here is how I think of it. When I am actively developing a feature I commit a lot. I like the granularity at that stage and typically it is for an audience of 1 (me). I push these commits up in my feature branch as a sort of backup. At t

As someone who has set this up while not being a DBA or sysadmin. Replication and backups really aren’t that difficult to setup properly with something like Postgres. You can also expose metrics around this to setup alerting if replication

Can’t edit so self reply. Nope this was intentional and it looks like I am about 5-6days late on this one. I didn’t see another post on this here though so hopefully this helps someone. So just a crappy move from them then. Going to look

Hopefully this was some bug and not a sign of Apple starting to go down a user hostile path. I have Apple everything (iPhone, MacBook, iPad, home pods, the works) so not someone who dislikes the company. Just left a really bad impression.

I don’t vibe code yet but it has sped me up a lot when working with large frameworks that have a lot of magic behind the scenes (Spring Boot). I am doing a very large refactor, major version spring boot upgrade, at the moment. When given f

That’s a fair point. I don’t think they care about steam competing on the desktop but mobile is another ballgame entirely.

Apples biggest weakness is games. But it has a pretty large install base when compared to Linux (not counting phones or servers here).Seems like a win/win. Apple gets to address their weaknesses and Valve gets a large target market.

I think the argument is more that ATC, people and equipment needed, should be funded via use fees. This ensures that the system is self sustaining. Also as demand increases then revenue to run the system would also increase.

In orgs I have seen this it is usually a symptom of the data center unit being starved of resources. It’s like they have only been given the choice of on prem but ridiculous paperwork and long lead times or pay 20x for cloud. Like can’t we

I am not an expert here but I am currently researching for a planned project. For backups, including Postgres, I was planning on paying Veeam ~$500 a year for a software license to backup the active node and Postgres database to s3/r2.

Thank you for the links and the correction on REI. I wasn’t aware that consumer co-ops were even a thing. I have some reading to do. Too late to edit my parent post unfortunately.
